A Wonderful Discovery.

W. M. Lee, the well-known fruit
grower of Tacoma, gives the particu-
lars of wonderful discovery of bones
of extinct animals in Washington
territory which attract, the attention OF
students of natural history and
archaeology all over the world. In
letter to the Ledger from Spokane
Falls he says:
''The face of the whole territory
shows unmistakable evidence of great
volcanic upheavals. On my trip through
Spokane county I stopped at Latah,
and in conversation with Mr. Coplen
of that place regarding the volcanic
formation of that section he informed
me that he had examined some large
bones of great antiquity. Accompanied
by Mr.. Coplen I went to the spring
where the relics were dug out. 1t is
located on a low strip of springy
prairie. The excavation around the
spring is twelve or fifteen feet deep
and thirty or forty across. The bones
were covered by several distinct
layers.
1.-THE first layer was ancient peat;
then gravel, then volcanic ashes,
then layer of coarse peat.
From this spring were taken no less
than nine elephants, of different sizes,
the remains of cave bear, hyenas,
extinct birds, and sea-turtle. The
dimensions of some of the bones of the
larger mammoth were wonderful to
look at. The horns were sort of tusk
and protruded from the head just be-
low the eyes, extending downward
below the jaws partially resting on the
| ground, giving support to the head,
which is estimated to have weighed a
ton. ''E'' .i' i'' t+I5.N' 2uH
'sThe horns were worn away several
inches deep at the bottom of the turn,
or half circle, indicating constant use
! by rubbing on the ground or rocks.
d. One of these horns was ten feet and
one inch long, and twenty-foul
inches in circumference. 1t weighed
!, 145 pounds, One of the tusks
measured twelve feet and nine inches
in length and twenty-seven inches
around. It weighed 295 pounds. The
jaw weighed sixty-three pounds. The
=" molar teeth weighed eighteen pounds
each. Some of the ribs were, eight
: feet long. The pelvic arch was six
.n feet across, and an ordinary maj
.ncould walk erect through this opening
This huge and antique monster, wa
eighteen feet and six inches high, ant
q was estimated to weigh twenty tons.

A Comparison Favorable to America.

The amount annually spent by the
European countries to keep up their
armies and navies Is r2l81, 120, 600.
The amount spent by America is about
&8,000,000. Adding therefore, the
cost for war debts and for ornaments
together, it will be seen that Europe
pays 1884, 760, 900, and America G18,-.
000, 900 per anhum.s How possibly can,
Europe hope to hold her fown against
her trans-atlantic rival when she hand

The Sight of the Confederate Flag Greatly

The Sight of the Confsde rate Flag Greatly
Affects JEFF. Davis.
MACON, Ga, Oct 2o--When the third
Georgia Confederate veterans passed Mr..
Davis Wednesday in the review, they waved
q tattered battle flag. As Mr.. Davis caught
sight of the banner he raised himself up by
a supreme effort and kissed its histor folds
With the assistance of Ssnator Colquitt he
waved the colors over the heads Of the
crowds, which were thrown into a delirium
Of ecstasy by this extraordinary display
The yelling kept up increasingly, and it was
not until it was announced that Mr.. Davis
desired to speak that the sxultant multitude
could be induced to desist from shouting.
Supported at either side by his wife and
daug hters he took a corner Of the flag in
his hand, tears streamed down his wrinkled
cheeks, and his voice grew husky with emo
ton. Trembling under the strain of the
moment. with eyes red with hot, scaldinR
tears. Mr. Davis presented 4 touching pic
ture His family were moved TO tears by
the sight. They well know how seriously
the exertions have an effect on his snfeebl ed
energies, but they were powerless to inter-
fere. He would speak, and this is what he
said:
FRIENDS AND BROTHERS L am like that
flag. torn end tattered by storms and years
I love it for its own sake. love it for
yours. love it as memento of what your
fathers did God bless you, l will see you
again"
TO add to the excitement of the moment
Miss Winnie Davis stepped to the railing
and tore a strip from the banner relic,
nich she kissed and pinned to her bosom.

TELEGRAPH RATES.
Mutual Union and Postal Telegraph Nov
ing nm to Western Union Rates.

Mutual Union and Postal Telegraph Nov
ing mp to Western Union Rates.
NEW YoRK, Oct "a The next important
step toward q complete settlement OF ths
telegraph war, probably second only to the
purchase Of the Baltimore & Ohio system
the Western Union company, was taken
Wednesday. An agreement has been made
between the Mutual Union, the fighting CON
tingsnt OF the Western Union company and
the Postal Telegraph company, which now
represents the only opposition
It Is probable that this agreement merely
foreshadows a perfect coalition, but the
principal officers Of both companies insisted
that it covered only m advance In unpront-
able rates It was stated with much posi-
tiveness that no purchase Of the opposite
lines was even contemplated, and at the
Office of the Postal Telegraph company II
was said that tariff in accordance with the
agreement had not bsen made.
While the fixing Of rates was not COM
pleted the officers of the company wore un-
willing to talk on the subject. The common
opinion in Wall street was that the acquisi'
ton of the Baltimore & Ohio lines by the
Western Union was not announced until
terms with the Mackay companies had been
arranged, and that the present agreement
was a natural sequence. 1t was anticipated
that an advance in cable rates would bs
made Immediately, and shat, in fact the
control of the opposition telegraph and
cable lines was in the hands of the Western
Union company.
1t was hinted that tho doubt about the de-
parture of Mr.. Gould for Europe aross
chiefly from the fact that tho negotiation
had not been completed at an earlier date.
1t is tolerably certain that some sort Of an
agreement exists between Mr.. Gould and
Mr.. Maekay, and the proposed advance in
rates by the Mutual Union and the Postal
companies is generally accepted a. sufficient
proof
Mr. Gould said in reply to an inquiry
whether the agreement meant the Absorption
Of the Mackay land and ocean lines:
81 guess not. As 1 understand the situa-
ton the Mutual Union and the Postal com.
panies have agreed to advance rates to
something near our tariff. They have been
fighting each other, but the Western Union
is not greatly interested. / have not heard
of any advance in cable rates"
President Chandler, of the Postal CON-
pany, refused to talk about the agreement,
and Vice President Ressner, speaking for
his superior officer, said that the directors
of the company would have to discuss ID
further before any announcement could be
made In regard to the purchase Of the
Mackay lines by the Western Uu,on, he
said ''That is out of the question. I do
not think there is any intention Of shat kind
on either side"
1t is understood that the advance in land
rates Of the Postal lines will carry with it
the abolition of rebates, and that all the
competitive ten and fifteen cent rates will
be given up and the new schedule will agree
very nearly with the Western Union.

Gold Discovered in Wisconsin.

WABASH, Mimi, Oct. 2s.-Much excite
ment prevails here over the discovery Of
gold and silver in largely paying quantities
at Shoe Fly, Wis, point about twelve
miles distant from this city, up the Chip
pewa river. The latest report from the
sssayer returns $40 to the ton in gold and
about $50 to the ton in silver, the specimens
being taken from different veins For some
time past the corporation known as the
Wabash Mining company have been quietly
buying up and leasing all the land obtaina-
BILE in the vicinity Of the locality named,
and have succeeded in getting possession of
several thousand acres Of what will no
doubt develop into immense finds Of the
precious metals. An interview with Mr.
Clarence Jellison, one Of the principal stock
holders engaged in the enterprise, shows
that the company have been sinking shafts
for some time and that in few weeks all
the mills necessary in mining will be put in
and the mines thoroughly worked.

BALTIMORE DEMOCRATIC.
THEY CARRY THE CITY BY OVER
FOUR THOUSAND MAJORITY.

The Democrats Elect Nineteen Council
men and the Republicans Eieven-La-
Dor Vote Very SmaIl-Ths Day Remark
ably Quiet-A Mysterious Murder.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 27.-The municipal cleo
don held yesterday was q remarkably quiet
one, considering the fact that it was antici-
pated that it would be ons OF extraordinary
excitement and bitterness. The Rspubli-
cans, aided by the Reform League, strained
every nerve TO carry the city, but their
efforts 50 far a. the mayoralty is concerned,
were vain. The Democrats carried the city
by a larger majority than that Of 1885, La
trobe being elected mayor by 4,205 ma
jority
The Democrats also eleot twelve first
branch councilmsn against eight for the
Republicans. The second branch will stand
seven Democrats, against three Republicans.
The council election in 1885 returned to the
first branch thirteen regular Democrats,
three fusion Democrats, and four fusion
Republicans; and to the second branch six
regular Democrats and four fusion Rspub-
icans
Tho total vote for mayor was IS, ,O75, cast
a. follows: Latrobe, Democrat, "A, Gao
Bartlett, Republican, 80, 435. Latrobe's
majority 4, ,2O5. Hodges, Democrat major
ity in 1885 was 2, $50, and the total vote cast
was SO, ,564
The ordinance passed by the oity council,
authorizing the borrowing Of 81, 900, 900 on
the issue Of four per cent bonds, for the
completion of the Lake Clifton water works,
was ratified by an overwhelming majority.
William J. Ogden, Labor candidate for
mayor, received ninety eight votes
Much Importance was attached by both
parties to the result of the contest, as to the
bearing it would have on future elections,
both sides recognizing the fact that it would
influence and probably decide tho state cleo
ton to be held on November s next
The only collision reported between ad.
herents Of the opposing parties was N the
Seventeenth ward, whsre Edward Daley, a
regular Democrat, was shot and instantly
killed az the polls of the ninth precinct.
The shooting was done SO quickly that no.
body seams to know VINO committed the
crime, but e lward Alisrs reform Dem
ocrat, who was standing nearer to Daley
than any one else at the moment, was ar
rested. He disclaims the shooting and
asked to be searched for a concealed weapon.
None wes found upon his person, and the
police are is yet in the dark.
